Debugging, Disassembly & Reversing in Linux for x64 Architecture

Instruction Pointer

Explore the role of the Instruction Pointer (RIP) in executing and stepping through assembly instructions using GDB. Understand how RIP updates during logical operations and memory access, and how program sections are managed in Linux.

We'll cover the following...
